go on to notch their largest victory
margin in over 30 games. A&M
scored 86 points against Pepper-
dine last year to set the all-time
high scoring record for an Aggie
cage team.
Georg* (Spider) Mehaffey, John
Fortenberry, Fritzie Connally and
Bill Broplm marshalled the Cadet’s
light-footed forces in the second
half 1o pull away to a comfortable
23 joint lead with 3:40 left in the
game.
FORTENBERRY, a sharpshoot
ing senior from No. Little Rock,
Ark.j was the game’s top marks
man with seven field goals and five
free throws for a total of 19. Bill
Brophy, also a senior, was next in
line on the Aggie quintet with 15
points.
HOW ABOUT THAT?
Officials: Foerster and Shelton.
Rebounds: A&M 54, Tulane 61.
Free throws missed: Bilbrey 2,
Connally 2, Brophy 5, Fortenberry
1, Stoll 1, Murphy 5.

Squadron 1 captured the upper
classmen tennis championship yes
terday by defeating White Band,
2-1. Raymond Snover and Gary
Lemmon downed Paul Prasek and
Cecil Steward 6-4 in Sqd. 1’s eas
iest set. John Dillard and David
Carpenter took an 8-6 set from
David Graham and Gerry Parker
to win the intramural title.
Eddie Reed and John Greenwalt
were the big guns for the White
Band, defeating Danny Gansky
and Robert Beal in a 7-5 match.
Mighty A-Armor advanced to
the Class B football finals by de
feating B-AAA 18-13 in a hard
fought game featured by penalties,
disqualifications, shifty runners
and stout defensive play.
In the first half Phil Gratehouse
intercepted a B-AAA aerial and
rambled from the mid-field stripe
all the, way to the 5-yard line. The
AAA defense rallied, however, and
on three attempts the Armor of
fense was shoved back to the 16
where Jackie Harris salvaged the
situation by placing a beautiful
field goal for a 3-0 lead.

‘KEN L0EFFLER
on BASKETBALL”
“Get ’em At LOU’S
Mehaffey, who sat out Saturday
night’s game with a Charley horse,
entered the game with six min
utes to go in the first half and
sparked A&M’s aggressive attack
in the final period. The 6-4 Hou-
ton junior peppered Tulane bas
kets with 14 points—all of them
in the second half. Twice he stole
the ball and scored on easy crip
shots.
“That boy Mehaffey turned the
tide quickly I’d say,” voiced Tulane
Coach Cliff Wells. “As- soon as
he got in there they seemed to
catch fire. He really hurt us.”
THE LEAD CHANGED hands
nine times during the turbulent
first half before Brophy’s free
throw with 6:20 to go shoved A&M
out in front, 30-29. Tulane knotted
the score at 35-35, but Fortenberry
dunked a free throw seconds later
to make it 36-35. The Aggies left
the court at halftime leading 40-37.
Clever Ken Loeffler’s basketeers
began the second half of play in
businesslike fashion, and quickly
pulled out of the Greenies’ reach.
A&M held 20 point leads frequent
ly during the last seven minutes of
the contest.
“Loeffler is a great coach,” said
Coach Wells. “Did you see him
change his defense from a man-
for-man to a zone the minute he
saw we weren’t able to hit from
the outside.”
The Aggies host the University
of Houston’s tall, high-scoring
Cougars tomorrow night at 8. The
freshmen game begins at 6:30 p.m.
TOO LATE to prevent Aggie guard John Fortenberry from
laying in a two-pointer is Tulane’s Stan Stumpf, forward
for the Green Wave. P^ortenberry was second high-scorer
in last night’s A&M win over Tulane, 85-66. The win was
the second straight for the resurging Aggies, and repre
sents the longest Aggie winning streak in the history of
White Coliseum.
